Pang, Camilla

As a child, Camilla loved patterns and putting things in order. She was obsessed with Stephen Hawking, and the only language she really understood was science. Diagnosed with autism aged 8, Camilla saw the world very differently. But with science as her sidekick, she was able to translate ideas she could understand, such as photosynthesis and algorithms, onto things she couldn’t, such as dealing with emotions and finding your voice. In this book, Camilla shares her scientific survival guide to growing up, helping young readers to navigate the world around them, have the courage to be themselves and embrace their weirdness, while being happy in who they are.
